“The focus had to be about the patient experience and to encourage the creation of a calming, reassuring and comfortable environment aimed at putting patients at ease when they are most apprehensive and vulnerable. We are indebted to our architects, IBI Group, our builders and support contractors… and our friends at Macmillan Cancer Support for helping us create a truly wonderful haven for cancer patients.”

“This iconic new building will mark a significant development in our strategy for improving health and health services for Bolton, and we are delighted that it is being delivered through this unique three-way partnership.”

“Bolton One will be a great asset for our students, staff and the entire town. It will also make the University of Bolton a distinctive health learning provider within the university sector. We will be working directly with our Bolton One neighbour NHS Bolton, within the primary care sphere, in a way universities have traditionally worked with hospitals.”

“This project has received universal praise of its design and construction allied to the excellent team spirit which has existed throughout the entire procurement process.” “Personally, I think that the design is quite the best we have achieved together.” “The building sits within the existing University complex with both empathy and flair, whilst the elevation to the main thoroughfare is nothing short of inspirational.”

“The standard of service from IBI Group has been highly professional, to time and certainly the input of their team has improved the overall quality of our final solution. In overall terms, the support that has been provided by IBI Group to the Trust has been outstanding.”
